Abstract
AMBULAY, Rosa and GALLOSA, Maria. Thrombocytopenia associated to the Hepatitis A virus: report of 3 cases. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.2, pp.102-105. ISSN 1018-130X. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v29i2.3350.
The thrombocytopenia associated to the Hepatitis A virus is a rare clinical case. According to published cases, this association is characterized by two forms of presentation: isolated or accompanied by systemic symptoms, a common sign being the presence of hepatitis. The alteration of the immune system, demonstrated by the presence of antibodies, would be the main etiology of this pathology. Three cases are presented, two of them with systemic symptoms and one with isolated clinical symptoms.
